In the campaign game, is there any way for one side to terminate the battle and accept a minor or major loss if the battle is going down the toilet? Maybe do this to preserve units/men for the next battle? I've played the Shenandoah Campaign and this situation occurred so we terminated the whole cam...

I'd be honored to serve also. And would like to be on the same side (either) as Lt. Coyne.

We'd be interested. However, while I'm a union guy my partner would be a CSA guy .....a guy I brought into the club but he joined the CSA.... So the game would be classified as a maneuver if that makes any difference. Please let us know. You can send me a note to dburke2@ix.netcom.com General Doug B...

Rick and I have been playing VG's "Civil War" for years. We talk on the phone all the time (almost daily when we're playing something) but we've never met. I convinced him to go a little more tactical since he likes the GBACW system so here we are. We warmed up with a demo game, he bought ...

Thanks! I know there's debate but that's what I was looking for.

but first a question......

Where is that excellent article on the analysis of the optional rules and which to use?

Thanks,

I'm thinking of getting back into the games after a LONG hiatus. I set up a practice email game, did the first sides turn just fine and then emailed the bte file to myself. When it's on my desktop and I click on it to open it, nothing happens and when it's in the game folder (GB in this case) a &quo...

Sure Lars. Send me a note at dburke20117@yahoo.com That's not my normal email address but I'll respond with the one I use regularly and we'll set it up.

Hey Lars! Remember me? I've got a VASSAL game going of The US Civil War with Jeff Coyle, the creator of the VASSAL module. We've actually done a lot of face to face stuff in the past as he used to live just a few miles from me. Fun game but I still like Victory Games' Civil War better and have a VAS...

Just rediscovered this. Nice PBEM version game going. Great to get back into strategy games again.

I think the fatigue set up is backwards. Getting from 700 to 500 should be a whole lot easier then getting from 100 to zero. Fatigue also represents the degrading of fighting ability by the loss of officers/leaders under the brigade leader level and those guys are not going to be replaced overnight ...

I'd be up for it provided it's not a scenario that has an early advantage for one side.

Along the same lines I wish the game engine was set up where a player could not check LOS from a hex unless a unit/leader was in it.

We need one more Yank for an MP game. Chickamauga is the module so must have that. Will probably only be "up" once a week but must be able to do his portion of the turn within 24 hours. Send me a note at dburke20117@yahoo.com if interested.
